About

Pranav Kumar is a researcher at the forefront of precision manufacturing and human-robot interaction. His work is defined by a dual focus: optimizing advanced machining processes and developing intelligent service robotics. In manufacturing, Kumar’s most cited paper, “Simultaneous parametric optimization of micro-EDM drilling of brass C360 using Taguchi based grey relation analysis” (2021, 5 citations), tackles a critical challenge in micro-machining. By applying sophisticated optimization techniques to Electrical Discharge Machining, he has improved the efficiency and accuracy of drilling micro-holes for high-stakes applications like fuel nozzles, surgical instruments, and micro-sensors. This work provides a robust framework for enhancing precision in industrial manufacturing. Simultaneously, Kumar is advancing robotics with his paper “Social Service Robot using Gesture recognition technique” (2023, 3 citations), where he explores how machines can interpret human gestures to perform automated tasks with greater accuracy. This research bridges the gap between human intent and robotic action, promising more intuitive and responsive service robots. Through these contributions, Kumar is shaping a future where manufacturing is more precise and robots are more seamlessly integrated into daily life.
